RWBY: Volume 5, Chapter 3: Unforeseen Complications

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are each entangled in journeys of their own, but they all share one destination: Haven Academy. Whether it's the promise of ancient relics, mystical maidens, or simply more power, it's clear that the stage for the next great battle for Remnant has been chosen. The question is, with so many players in this game, who's going to come out on top?

I think sometimes Ozpin talks over Oscar at the same time so we hear both of their voices. But it seems that Oscar's actor continues speaking in Oscar's voice when Ozpin takes over, only he uses Oz's intonation and speech pattern to signify that Ozpin is in control. We only ever hear Ozpin's voice actor when he speaks in Oscar's mind or when they speak in unison. I hope this helps

That would make sense if it was still Oscar's actor. If it is, that means that voice actor is really talented because I really couldn't tell. Cool.

There's a RWBY Rewind episode that might help, the one with the sound tech?

Mjr. Xiao Long : Flu....flu? They've been eaten fresh fruit. (Does terrible twitch or tic) Right. Now, self-defense. Tonight I shall be carrying on from last week, when I was showing you how to defend yourself against anyone who attacks armed with a piece of fresh fruit

All: (disappointed) oh

Lee: You promised you wouldn't do fruit this week.

Mjr.Xiao Long: What do you mean?

Tim: Well we've done fruit for the last nine weeks.

Mjr. Xiao Long: What's wrong with fruit? You think you know it already?

Penelope: Well can we do something else for a change? I mean like someone attacks you with pointy sticks?

Mjr.Xiao Long: (scornfully) Pointy sticks?

(She walks up to her)

Ho ho ho, we wanted to learn how to defend ourselves against pointy sticks do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Ho, ho, ho, well I'll tell you something my lady. When you're walking home in the middle of the night and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries don't be going around crying to me! Right then, the passion fruit.

(Hopes and turns facing back toward them.)

Mr.Xiao Long: When your assailant lungs at you with a passion fruit, thus.... (demonstrates)

All: We've done a passion fruit!

Mjr.Xiao Long: What?

Sandra: We did a passion fruit!

Wendy: We've done oranges, apples, grapefruits.

Katherine: Whole and Segments

Tim: Pomegranates, greengages.

Roseanne: Grapes, Passion fruits.

Lee: Lemons and Kiwis

Wendy: Plums

Katherine: Yep and Mangos in syrup.

Mjr. Xiao Long : How bout cherries?

All: Done that

Mjr. Xiao Long : Red and Black?

All: Yes.

Mjr. Xiao Long: Alright then......Bananas!

All: Oh.

Mjr. Xiao Long: we haven't done it, have we?

All: no.

Mjr. Xiao Long : Right! Bananas! How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana.

(Grabs a banana and tosses it to Tim)

Mjr. Xiao Long : Here take this.

(Tim catch it and held it in his hand.)

Mjr. Xiao Long : Now it's quite simple to defend yourself against the banana fiend. First of all, you force him to drop the banana. Next you eat the banana, thus disarming him. Youve rendered him helpless

Katherine: Well supposing he has a bunch.

Mjr. Xiao Long : Shut up!

Penelope: What about a pointy stick?

Mjr. Xiao Long : Shut up. Right, now you, mr. Apricot

Tim: Tim.

Mjr. Xiao Long: Tim. Mr.Tim, come at me with that banana then. Come on attack me with it. As hard as you like. Come on.

(Tim moves towards her rather half-heartedly)

Mjr.Xiao Long : No, no, no, put something into it for God sake. Hold it up like that. Scream. Now come on, come on, attack me with it, come on, come on

Tim: Ahhhh!! (Runs in with the banana)

(The major shots him with her burning Celica as he flops on the floor on his belly. Then the major picks up the banana)

Mjr.Xiao Long : Now, I eat the banana.

(Thankfully this is a play so Jaune is playing dead, so the rest of the class gather round Tim's body)

Penelope: You shot him.

Lee: he's dead.

Wendy: he's completely dead.

Mjr. Xiao Long : *eatting The banana.* back up, back up.

(She finished the banana)

Mjr. Xiao Long: Now I've eaten the banana. The deceased, Mr.Tim is now disarmed.

Katherine: You shot him.

Roseanne: You shot him dead.

Mjr. Xiao Long: Well he was attacking me with a banana.

Sandra: You told him to.

Mjr.Xiao Long : Look, I'm only doing my job. I have to show you how to defend yourself against fresh fruit.

Penelope: And pointy sticks.

Mjr. Xiao Long: Shut it!

Sandra: supposing someone came at you with a banana and don't have a gun?

Mjr.Xiao Long : Run for it.

Roseanne: Oh you could stand there and scream for help.

Mjr.Xiao Long: Yeah, you try that with a pineapple down your wind pipe?

(Sandra, with the raspberry in her hand runs at her until the major pulls down the lever dropping a 16 ton weight over Sandra.)

Mjr.Xiao Long: if anyone ever attacks you with a raspberry, simply pull the lever and 16 ton weight will drop on his head. I've learned that in Malaya.

Roseanne: Suppose you haven't got a 16 ton weight.

Mjr.Xiao Long : Well that's planning, isn't it. Forethought.

Wendy: Well how many 16 ton weights are there?

Mjr.Xiao Long: Look....look, smarty pants, the 16 ton is just one way, JUST ONE WAY...of dealing with the raspberry killer. There are millions of others.

Katherine: Like what?

Mjr.Xiao Long: Shot him.

Lee: Well supposing you got a gun or a 16 ton weight--

Mjr.Xiao Long: All right clever dick, all right clever dick. You three come at me with raspberries. They're whole basket each, come on. Come at me with those raspberries then.

(Lee, Katherine and Penelope were given baskets of raspberries by the Major for demonstration.)

Mjr. Xiao Long: come at me, bring it on!

Lee: No gun?

Mjr.Xiao Long: No.

Katherine : No 16 ton weight?

Mjr.Xiao Long: No

Penelope: No pointy sticks?

Mjr.Xiao Long: Shut up!

Katherine: No rocks in the ceiling?

Mjr.Xiao Long: No.

Lee: You won't kill us?

Mjr.Xiao Long: I won't kill you.

Penelope: You promise?

Mjr.Xiao Long: I promise I won't kill you. Now are you going to attack me?

All 3: alright.

Mjr.Xiao Long: Right, now don't rush me this time, I'm going to turn me back so you can stalk me...right?

Lee: Well whatever you say.

Mjr.Xiao Long: Good, come up as quietly as you can, right close up behind me, then in with the raspberries right? Start moving

(They start to sneak up on her as they make ready to lounge.)

Mjr.Xiao Long: Now, the first thing to do when your stalked by an ugly gang with raspberries, is to.....release The tiger

(This was Cinder running and roaring at them with arm extend outward if front while running as all the students by surprise start running followed by Wendy and Roseanne as they started running )

Tiger: ROOAARRRR!!!!

All 5: AHHHHH!!!

Mjr.Xiao Long: The advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that it not only eats the raspberry laden foe, but also the raspberries.

(Penelope and Katherine screams as the tiger attacks them. Luckily it's Cinder playing as the tiger)

Mjr.Xiao Long : The advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that it not only eat the raspberry laden foe, but also the raspberries. The tiger however does not relish the peach. The peach assailant should be attacked with a crocodile.

(She then looks around)

Mjr.Xiao Long: Right.....I know your here-lurking under the floor boards with your damsons and your prunes, I'm waiting for you. I know your behind the wall bars with your quinces, well I'm ready for you. I've got TNT and I'm not afriad to use it and if any of you so much as try anything and we'll all go out together. I've warned you...I've warn you, right! THAT'S IT!

(Big expolsoin after Mjr.Xiao Long flip the switch. After expolsion the major stands there all black from the expolsoin with her hair sticking up as if she was Frankenstein's bride. Luckily the tnt is fake.)

That's an interesting way for Oz to talk and train the group but makes sense since they would have to get the info from Oz and Oscar is a bit too timid. Plus Weiss is crafty with what happened at the end there

Was definitely hearing Father (FMA:B) in poppa Belladonna's speech. It's so weird; the tone is there, delivery much the same - excluding the contempt - but thematically is completely opposite. Sounds pretty good either way.

"You got this." Totally killing the mood, Sun!

I can't explain just how giddy I was when Ozpin finally laid his cards down (most of them, presumably). From the very first Volume and Chapter until the 5th and now. I've been wracking my brain to figure out his identity almost everytime I sat down to watch a new release. Looks like most of my theories were incorrect, or just not quite accurate. But that just made this all the more exciting to see and hear.

For some reason I feel as though Weiss erred in telling Vernal about Winter. Even if Ironwood closed the borders and recalled his forces; if there's the threat of war on the horizon, would he really withdraw his special operatives which, one could assume, includes those skilled at reconnaissance? Hypothesis: If Cinder comes to the bandit camp, might Raven take that information abut Ironwood's troops and use it for bartering?

Ruby, Nora and Juane's faces when Professor Ozpin/Oscar flipped and started twirling his cane... Priceless.

Side note, I still cannot view these videos through Roosterteeth's player. The player does not load, and it seems this is a growing problem, judging by the comments below.

He kind of reminds me of the wizard that gave the maidens their powers but unable to stop Salem he was cursed I'm guessing till he completes his mission.

Regrets of a passed headmaster—that reminds me of something...

Also, show-off!

What Ghira is planningis pretty bold. And getting reluctant people in fighting shape is not an easy task.

One question that occured to me in volume 2 and that I was remembered now:

Why do people not all systematically unlock their Aura? It would seem logical to have that basic defense in such a dangerous world, even (or especially) without fighting training or use of one's semblance.

Also, I'm not a fan of it IRL, but on Remnant, I'd think it would be sensible to have everybody go through a mandatory basic fighting training—specifically aimed at killing Grimm, mind you. Especially in such cases as at the end of volumes 2 and 3, this should be useful, or at least reduce casualties while people flee...

I don't think anything less than full Huntsman or military training will give a person a fighting chance against the Grimm in an open battle. They're strong, tough, and pretty single-minded. It would probably just make the casualties worse because more people would try to stand and fight, and then be killed.

+1 Ditto

KlorixFIRST Member Star(s)Indication of membership status - One star is a FIRST member, two stars is Double Gold

I didn't mean for people to openly fight the Grimm. I fully agree that the sort of training I had in mind does not suffice to effectively take part in fighting off the Grimm, more so, such people would be a burden for the Huntsmen. However, if – along with the training – people were drilled to seek the nearest shelter, these basic skills would ensure that more of the citizens would actually get there, because, as opposed to no training, they would be able to overcome some of the weaker Grimm on their way.

Of course there's always some wannabe heroes...

But first and foremost, I think people should at least unlock their Aura. Even without any training whatsoever, it would provide some protection, while a dormant Aura apparently does nothing at all.

I love the credits where they show the concept behind the environment... NOW i want to play a RWBY game with Bastion like game design or like The Legend of Heroes... I just think the setting would be amazing for a game like that... And the series is just getting better and better

Man if Ozpin has lived for so long it means his combat skills are peerless having had hundreds of lifes to perfect them, but then again i wonder how much hax are maiden powers to actualy be able to overcome that amount of experience, or maybe how much skill he can use depends on his vessel and his previous body could no longer fully utlise it all

i think it takes getting used to each time. most fighting styles we've seen depend on semblance. so each new body brings a new semblance and retraining for a new style

I'd guess from how they described the Maiden powers that they're pretty OP. Also, the battle he had with Cinder was not the type that would necessarily play to his strength of greater experience, since it was less of a conventional battle and more of a clash of semi-mystical powers.

After those three episodes, I don't mind if the next is WoR (anyone know if it is or not? Where do you find that out at?). Very good pick up this season CRWBY! Much better than last season! The pacing is on point.

But where did they Get the Crystal's? Does her aura make her able to summon Constructs for a cost? What was that cost? Did she use her own blood? It is said that every living being makes Dust/Crystals, So wouldn't it be ethical if she had a power to Produce Dust inside herself? (only small Of Course) If so, How did this happen? Why is that there? is it another Aura? Will she be able to Recover if the dust is in her blood/body? and btw why wont they Weiss just say, "Hey so i protected your 2 daughters from getting killed, We got separated so... we are huntresses together and we stay together and thats why i'm going to haven to find Ruby

roacheboy - Ruby isn't Raven's daughter - she doesn't seem to care about Ruby, she barely cares about Qrow (or is that he's a big boy who can take care of himself?). Either way Raven probably sees it more as a business transaction anyway "Nothing personal, but my men gotta eat."

As for the first part of your questions. I just gotta say HUH? It's been explained, by Winter, that "All Schnee's can summon" and Weiss just needs to focus and concentrate and "call her fallen foes". I guess that might mean - in your terms - the "price" was paid with their blood and with Weiss's victory. (You do know that the Huntsman she summons is the knight from the White Trailer, right?)

The reason why she needs to learn to fight hand to hand is because of situations like volume 3, where she had to face Mercury without Crescent Rose. Plus there's the chance she'll be disarmed like Qrow was last season, especially since she's going to be fighting more people like Tyrion who aren't mindless killing machines (at least not on the same level as the Grimm).

I've watched this episode too many times and I have reason to both hate and like this ship. However, I have to say, I do not get that same indication as you. Ruby's cheeks do not change, she is just as giddy as usual and I think Oscar is just shy/embarrassed as a personality trait because he hasn't traveled far from his farm before. I got the impression that she was more curious as to what is really going on with Oscar/Ozpin as this is a "first times all around" moment, as was said.

I think to draw a conclusion like this is premature. But it could be used as a foundation stone if other references are made in the future.

No, it's not. It's possible that Oscar think's Ruby is pretty and is interested in her in a childish crush kinda way. Ruby however has shown nothing unusual for her or indicative of love or any sort of romantic affection.

I mean he's a cute kid but that doesn't mean everyone wants to bang him does it? Does it?

As far as I've seen, RWBY fans are too "passionate" most of the time. Many say that they won't watch anymore if such and such does/doesn't happen. If we were all more open-minded there could be less hate. I don't think the "Lame", "Noob" and "Flamebait" Mods help - they are still insults that shouldn't be allowed, especially by an organization that openly claims to like all ships, regardless of what they actually present on the show, and love all the fanfiction and fan theories. I think those Mods fuel the close-mindedness of the most furiously passionate.

I mean, I'll still watch the show with great anticipation, don't get me wrong, but I will be dying on the inside as Sun looks at Blake drooling.

noonyakaleka - Agreed bro. I know a friend of mine told me he stopped watching just because Monty Oum died and he thought "it just wouldn't be the same". I get his reasoning, but I feel like refusing to watch a show for ONE minor reason is ridiculous - I ship Bumblebee, sure, but if that doesn't become a thing, whatever; it's not like it kills the show or the characters. The way I see it, so long as they don't majorly muck up the story, pacing, etc., in a way that compromises the show, why complain?
